Abstract
An information handling system may include an air mover array comprising one or more air movers, a debris detection system comprising an emitter configured to emit electromagnetic energy and a detector configured to detect an intensity of the electromagnetic energy incident at the detector and communicate a signal indicative of the intensity, and logic configured to receive the signal, compare the intensity indicated by the signal to a threshold level, and perform a remedial action if the intensity is below the threshold level.
Claims17
An information handling system comprising:
- an air mover array comprising one or more air movers;
- a debris detection system comprising:
- an emitter configured to emit electromagnetic energy;
- and
- a detector configured to detect an intensity of the electromagnetic energy incident at the detector and communicate a signal indicative of the intensity;
- and
- logic configured to receive the signal, compare the intensity indicated by the signal to a threshold level, and perform a remedial action if the intensity is below the threshold level.
